Bill overview
Senate Bill 1275 creates a veterans diversion program in Arizona, allowing county attorneys to divert certain criminal cases involving military members and veterans who have specific mental health conditions. The program offers the possibility of dismissing charges upon completion, and the county attorney has significant discretion in deciding which cases are eligible. Certain serious offenses, such as those involving serious injury or domestic violence, are excluded from the program.
